How locals rank it
From the local food press
- Mexican
Red Iguana's extensive mole program is the clearest reason to visit, with sauces built from chiles, nuts, seeds, fruit, and spice arriving across enchiladas and larger plates. The menu also covers cochinita pibil, seafood, tacos, and combination dishes. Expect a wait, then use the time at the table to compare more than one mole.
Picks from Salt Lake Magazine and Gastronomic Salt Lake City
- Burritos
Red Iguana brings the depth of its Mexican kitchen to the burrito format, including a Sunrise Burrito built for breakfast and a wider menu of chile rich fillings. The original North Temple dining room stays busy, but the cooking remains detailed. Mole, slow cooked meats and carefully layered sauces give each tortilla wrapped plate its own identity.
